hiya, does anyone know of a website, for above in 1891-1901 as my rellie was publican/beer house keeper and i cannot find her on 1901 cen. any ideas anyone, please, thanks Julie

Not sure what you are wanting to find - if you've lost a rellie in 1901 she is probably either mistranscribed or dead. You could google, or see if you can find Bristol in the historical t directories sites. nell

Is this what you are looking for? http://www*bristolslostpubs.com/html/bristol_pubs*htm replace * with .

http://www*bristolslostpubs.com/html/bristol_pubs*htm (something odd happened to my last message after I sent it!)

WHAT is happening to my emails?? enter bristolslostpubs into google and select the dot com not the co dot uk. I've found the site useful in my Bristol pub research.

ooh censorship! Looks like they don't want us recommending web sites to each other. How annoying as recommendations are part of the vitality of this site.

hiya, have tried google but cant really find what it is i'm after, my hope was that she may still be there in 1901, either her or her daughter, have scoured 1901 census till i'm boggle eyed and cannot find her, there arent any deaths either, or possible re marriages, i did find a death for 1909 but it isnt in clifton bristol, its avon, bath, am really at a loss as where to go next to find her, many thanks Julie

a) GR doesn't allow webaddresses with d 0 t c o m or d o t c o in them. .org , . net and . gov are fine So you have to do (.)com or *com to fool them! b) if you post the name of this Bristol publican we might be able to find her. nell

hiya, tracey, i guess i'm doing something wrong, all i'm getting is a zap search engine, is this what you meant? help!!!!!! Julie

I wonder if you could post any details of the pub you are looking for or the people?

hiya nell, i doubt it, but you can try, her name was Frances Lockyer, (nee Graves) b.1841 uffculme devon, married Robert Lockyer, and had a daughter Louisa Locker, someone found frances mistranscribed on 1881 cen, i have her on 1891, in pub, all details after this are a mystery, (robert died in 1876) louisa b.1863 broadhembury, devon. like i say you can try but i very much doubt you'll find them Julie

Is it me eyes, but I cant see a Pub name there?

ooops sorry i forgot that bit, the pub was the 'volunteer' on what looks like hotwell rd???? clifton parish/bristol HTH julie

hiya ann, thanks very much, will keep note of info, and have a look at site, any other offers???? anyone??? Julie

I don't wish to confuse things and I don't know if it's much help but when it comes to the pub....I'm wondering if it's the Navel Volunteer which is ( still ) Hotwells.......I know it's a very old building that dates back a very long time ( 1700's ).......Now adays it'scalled 'The Volly' but I think it's full name is the royal Navel Volunteer...

oohhhh esta, wasnt even sure if hotwells rd, existed!! LOL, excuse my ignorance, if its the same pub then, maybe, certainly given me something to ponder on, wonder if i google it???? thanks Julie

I just found a picture if it...........and lost it....I'll tryagain ! ( They serve a good proper traditional pint ! )

hiya, i found one on King st, called navel volunteer? big white building with blue ribbon on front, is that it? so king st was hotwells? Julie
